Then again, I did buy MegaManX4 there used and it didn't work.

But believe it or not, I actually bought my copy of Halo 2 used. Hey, five bucks is five bucks.

Holy CRAP!! This BLOWS.

Hey, if you like Madden more than the others, more power to you. But to totally eliminate any other developer from making an NFL game?!?! WTF!

That's called monopoly.

So, every other softwarehouse that decides to make a football videogame must create fictional teams and players... Have you seen the teams on the movie "Any Given Sunday", well 'nuff said...

“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Actually, this might give Sega a chance to work up some creative new ideas for it's football games, and give them more personality that the real NFL.

Wouldn't it be great to see this move backfire and Sega make megabucks on AFL football or their own fictional leave.
Man I hate EA.

I didn't think EA was this power hungry, maybe I was just being naïve.

Hey, about Front Mission 4: it's still 24.99 at gamestop. Best Buy is currently getting it off their shelves so I just grabbed it for 14.99 on their website.

It got bad reviews pretty universally, I think because of expectations. Coming off of mechwarrior and such, they wanted something action oriented. It's a very slow game with tons of menu customization and set up time. Those who know what to expect, i.e., those who were looking for the next FF Tactics or Dynasty Tactics, loved it.

I haven't played it yet, but my friends highly recommend it. Just know what you are getting. You aren't driving mechs around, you're picking options from a menu and playing a board game. A board game that kicks butt.

If you're going to take forever, then I'm having a hotdog!

Meh, most of those were remakes from the GB GB Color and SNES days though.

I hate to continue to be technical, but the line was really

Thanks to whoever it was for posting that link about the EA deal...as a loyal ESPN fan i'm incredibly grateful I didn't buy any of that crap that has been coming out of the Madden camp for the last five years. If it wasn't for the Batman license and those incredible Lord of the Rings games, i'd be screaming "screw EA" at the top of my lungs.

Which is the more foolish, the fool (the OT) or the fool who follows (the PT)?
